Miroslav Satan scored the winner and he now has 9 points in his past six.

Lundqvist is the only goaltender to have played every minute in each of his teams game this season, it is clear that these guys need a rest. (Except for Sean Avery, he is a ball of energy every time he gets out on the ice, his hustle earned him one assist tonight.)
